PTCGL borked?(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 18:00

Pretty much title, haven't had the opportunity to play in a month. Started it up yesterday through lutris and it took me back to the login screen while giving me error 15.

Something strange happens in fireforx too when trying to login to the play! Pokemon website, it loads forever.

This issue is not present on chrome, had firefox as preferred browser and tried changing it to chrome but it had no effect on the in game login error.

Latest version of everything while using linux mint.

Is there a way to change the desktop cursor?(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 17:46

When I used Windows, I followed an artist who made very nice and beautiful animated mice. Is there a way to do the same thing on Linux, or can't you? My system is now Manjaro.

Wine-tkg build with NTSYNC patch(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 17:28

So i build wine-tkg with appropriate configuration file ( disabling esync , fsync , enabling ntsync ) .

I am using kernel 6.14 cachyos . Games run fine with heroic-launcher .

But the log doesnt have any sign of ntsync being used . Is there any environtment varibale required to use ntsync ?

Or if someone has wine/proton build with working ntsync , can you just upload on github or somehwhere ?

Divison 2: performance the same no matter what(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 17:23

Hi all,

I have odd performance, and have only ever seen it on this game. When I run benchmark, what ever I do I seem to get ~5600 ish score. 63 fps. This is on a 7900xtx and a 12700k.

I have disabed directx 12, and reduced latency turned off. I will also add I am playing this on Linux. I see same results through gamescope and non gamescope.

I want to run in gamescope so I get HDR. What is odd is even if I add FSR upscaling, i get the same FPS really. Is there some special hack here I am missing?

I am running Arch Linux with cachyos repos enabled for kernel/steam etc.

Troubleshooting DOS2 and XCOM2(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 16:59

I transitioned my gaming from Windows to Linux Mint in early February. Most of my Steam Windows games have run great under Linux, including until recently Divinity Original Sin 2 and XCom 2. Both ran fine for a month In Linux Mint using both standard Proton configurations and Proton-GE.

A couple of weeks ago both games started crashing to desktop without any obvious error messages even when running Steam from the terminal. I've spent the last couple of weeks troubleshooting and am stymied where to go next. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. I've spent most time trying to get DOS2 running because it is rated Gold on ProtonDB with just the --skip-launcher launch option.

  2. The original Steam installation was via Flatpak, so I uninstalled all of my Steam games and Steam itself, verified that all were deleted from disk and re-installed the official Steam .deb version. Still had the same problem with both games. The game starts to launch and presents the initial game loading screen, then just CTDs. Most testing was done with --skip-launcher but I tried without that option as well.

  3. I tried running every Proton version back to v6 including latest version Proton-GE . I was always careful to fully exit Steam between attempts to run the programs and even tried rebooting b/t attempts. The launch effort lasted longest in Proton v7 but only a bit longer.

  4. I'm in the process of testing various distros for music production, so I also tried running the games in fresh installs of Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04, 24.10 and 25.04 beta. All had the same result.

  5. In Linux Mint 22.1 OpenGL reports a 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) with Mesa 24.2.8-lubuntu1~24.04.1. Seems recent enough.

  6. I've tried to find in depth troubleshooting guides on the Internet and YouTube, but everything I've found is pretty superficial.

  7. At this point, it feels like a hardware issue, but my hardware is pretty standard and I've been testing on various fresh installs with no funky configurations:

    1. AMD Ryzen 7 7700x
    2. ASUS Dual Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB
    3. 64 GB ram

Any pointers on where to go next would be much appreciated.

I want to play games like Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux.(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 16:54

I've been using Ubuntu for years, but I haven't played any games. Now, I remember my time on Windows when I installed and played Cyberpunk. But when i installed it now, it ran very poorly.

Does anyone know a better Linux distro for gaming?

PC specs:

Intel Core i5 (11th Gen)

Intel Arc A770 (16GB)

32GB DDR4 RAM

QHD monitor

Local Networking Not Working (Minecraft & SuperTuxKart specifically)(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 16:47

Hello. I have tried and failed many times to get local networking to just work on linux, but to no avail. I have spent plenty of time researching how to get this to work, but I don't really know what I am doing when it comes to networking and would greatly appreciate help from someone who does know.
My system is EndeavourOS with KDE on wayland, the one I am trying to connect to (or vice versa) is linux mint 21.3.
The ping command for both works to connect to external servers, but not to connect to each other. Both devices are connected to the same network, although a way to confirm with terminal would be helpful. (Name of the wifi network is the same but still, would like confirmation)
I have tried running Minecraft from both devices- with the server jar, localhost, 127.1.1.1(Link ist extern), local ip of other: port, nothing. Ironically, the one time I ran the game in offline mode from both (1 account), and tried local server, the other one would show up in local servers, with the exact same ip and port that above it is saying cannot connect. I try to join but am left with a "connecting..." screen that never resolves.
SuperTuxKart, when I tried to run from the server, would register that it is getting pinged (beware this is with different install) but no connection would be able to be established. If I hosted on windows then the linux client could connect to the windows server.
I realise these should be 2 seperate posts, but I reckon if I fix one it should fix the other.

Also, if you think this post belongs on a different forum, please tell me so :)

Am I doing something wrong? (9070 XT woes)(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 16:02

This is the only problem that's preventing me from my switch. I started my switch to linux around February and it was mainly a smooth transition. I was still using a 7800 XT.

I got a 9070 XT on launch day and learned that new GPU releases are not exactly good on linux. I've read that it was working nicely on day 1 but I was on Bazzite so I opted to wait for it to update.

Once the stable release dropped that had the requirements, it looked like my Steam games were mostly working again. However, my main games (FFXIV, and Hoyo gacha games) were still chugging. All of them use their own custom launchers and have their Wine prefixes.

From what I've read around, the RDNA 4 drivers are not in the kernel yet? Would this be the issue causing my non-Steam games to fail utilizing the GPU? This is really the only hurdle preventing me from daily driving linux again. I was getting used to it for a few weeks but the GPU upgrade forced me back to Windows.

Weird display freeze(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 13:34

Hey guys, I am getting crashes when playing Schedule I on Fedora KDE Wayland Spin. I have two monitors connected (1440p, 1080p). At first, I thought that the game fully crashes but what crashes is only the display on that monitor. I can hear sound, inputs from keyboard and mouse are working fine. I tried moving the game to the other monitor by pressing super+shift+right or left and it works fine (old display is stuck on the previous monitor) but it is just a matter of time until it crashes on the other monitor and have to reboot.

Things I tried: changing DP cable, playing on a single monitor, Re-seating graphics card, playing on the iGPU, connect HDMI instead of DP.

Hardware is AMD 9800x3d, 9070XT.

I have latest mesa, running on Proton Hotfix.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?

Wayland Turns the Corner?(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 12:10

And, even the lightweight X11 based desktops can no longer keep pace, much less dominate, in many testing scenarios.

From the story: "Wayland sessions were delivering the best gaming performance out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 25.04 beta. Often times it was a tight race between these desktop sessions but there were no instances observed where using an X11-based session provided a measurably better experience."

This is not an exhaustive test, I grant, but there is no denying that Wayland has clearly come into its own as a gaming platform. Now, if only Nvidia would get with the program, eh?

Trying to use steam but not working no matter what I try(Link ist extern)

03. April 2025 - 11:12

Hey everyone. So recently I downloaded Linux Mint Cinnamon and was looking forward to using steam again. However for some reason Steam is very slow and laggy when trying to play literally any game on my library. I have tried numerous things to get it to run correctly, but to no avail. My specs are as follows: - Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 Super - I5 9600k

Here is a list of what I have tried: - Deleting steam cache - Updating driver/ and using the recommended driver -Experimenting with all the other drivers on the driver manager list - Making sure my entire computer is up to date - Reinstalling steam - Enabling performance mode via bash - enabling protonfix on every game I tried -experimenting with other proton versions

What am I missing? Is linux just incompatible with my gpu?
